The aim of this paper is to analyse the permanent struggle to define European fiscal policy objectives, hence to define the corresponding structure of such a policy. To discuss the objectives of fiscal policies in the European context our starting point will be the idea that politics has to define clear objectives, then economic policies, fiscal policies included, should be designed to attain the fixed objectives. In the European context, the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)’s main objectives have been restated in 2015: “balanced economic growth and price stability, a competitive social market economy, aiming at full employment and social progress” for all member states. Our conclusion, based on these objectives, will be that the EMU needs a fiscal policy as well to cope with asymmetric shocks as to foster real convergence among member states. Therefore, a clearer presentation of the corresponding policies with the expected outcomes on the member state level has to be added. This has to be achieved through an improved communication policy to convince European citizens that the European integration is not just about maintaining peace in Europe but that a real improvement in living conditions can be achieved.

Abstract. Chemically resolved (organic, nitrate, sulphate, ammonium) data of non-refractory submicron (NR-PM1) aerosol from the first long-term deployment (27 July 2012 to 02 October 2013) of a time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) at the Swiss high altitude site Jungfraujoch (3580 m a.s.l.) are presented. Besides total mass loadings, diurnal variations and relative species contributions during the different meteorological seasons, geographical origin and sources of organic aerosol (OA) are discussed. Backward transport simulations shows that the highest (especially sulphate) concentrations of NR-PM1 were measured in air masses advected to the station from regions south of the JFJ while lowest concentrations were seen from western regions. OA source apportionment for each season was performed using the Source Finder (SoFi) interface for the multilinear engine (ME-2). OA was dominated in all seasons by oxygenated OA (OOA, 71–88 %), with lesser contributions from local tourism-related activities (7–12 %) and hydrocarbon-like OA related to regional vertical transport (3–9 %). In summer the OOA can be separated into a background low-volatility OA (LV-OOA I, possibly associated with long range transport) and a slightly less oxidised low-volatility OA (LV-OOA II) associated with regional vertical transport. Wood burning-related OA associated with regional transport was detected during the whole winter 2012/2013 and during rare events in summer 2013, in the latter case attributed to small scale transport for the surrounding valleys. Additionally, the data were divided into periods with free tropospheric (FT) conditions and periods with planetary boundary layer (PBL) influence enabling the assessment of the composition for each. Most nitrate and part of the OA is injected from the regional PBL while sulphate is mainly produced in the FT. The south/north gradient of sulphate is also pronounced in FT air masses (sulphate mass fraction from the south: 45 %, from the north: 29 %). Furthermore, a detailed investigation of specific marker fragments of the OA spectra (f43, f44, f55, f57, f60) showed different degrees of ageing depending on season.
